[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2016-5: Post-IPv4-Free-Pool-Depletion Transfer Policy

[Scott Leibrand]

Matthew,

Have converted your network to IPv6-only, turned off IPv4, and returned
your IPv4 addresses to ARIN?  If not, I think you know why IPv4 is still
necessary, and why new and growing networks still need to acquire IPv4
addresses.  And as long as organizations still need to get IPv4 addresses,
simplifying the policies for doing so will save far more time for
applicants (to spend on IPv6 deployment if they want) than it will cost in
discussing the policies.  I don't think I can say the same about Titanic
meta-discussions, though.
